like CBR, i too have been eye balling them. the first ones i took an interest in were done up by UEO's drift magic "squad". i've seen others that pre-date his in round tube form.

i'd be interested in trying out a set. maybe someday. taka and i were talking one time about chassis rigidity. one thing he reminded me of was we could end up making the chassis TOO stiff to the point that it's very skiddish and unstable. so, just a reminder to throw out there for all of us.

i believe that's the same manufacturer of the tube style fender braces.

that looks pretty cool.

these all sound good. i too have been wondering about these. i have also heard that the 86 chasis is weak. maybe with more hp these would do a lot more but with the relatively low hp from stock it might be too ridged like occa said. i dont know. they dont look too hard to make tho. has any one here actually used these or something like these? i have also read some where that these should be used with the rear bar for the hatch at least but could of been a way for them to get you to spend more money.
